Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
Why is their reputation hurt?
For what?
Absurd comment.
And you know that really.
It hasn’t been the party of workers since about 1945.
Senior Tory MP claims knife crime went up by 72% in London.
In fact offences fell by 11% in the year to September 2025.
Do you think the electorate care about Mandelson revelations? I don’t, beyond the media’s extraordinary need to hurt Starmer I don’t see the story. Who was hurt? What was lost? What laws were broken? No one cared about the appointment when it happened remember.

Sigh.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social happily sponsoring casual sexism.
Equal treatment?
@mrjamesob.bsky.social
Workplace injury/death
Healthcare
Nutrition
Attitude/education
Working class people do the shitty, dangerous jobs (mainly men)
Poor people eat worse food. Often for the cheap, easy pleasure
Poor people have worse healthcare access and they know no different
I think BS has peaked.
There is no good SM platform now for anyone wanting discursive debate with knowledgeable people and exposure to new ideas.
It’s 4D chess for sure!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social and you live in a world where misandry is the norm.
Great post
So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money.
So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social surely the @BBC can now sue Trump for slander after he lied about them using AI to ‘put words in his mouth’.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social
We don’t yet meet the Copenhagen Criteria. Until we do we can’t hope to join. There’s also the thorny matter of the Euro. New members must commit to it.
That said I think the UK could be ‘accommodated’ via EEA associate membership.
Nick Timothy is an uncannily perfect encapsulation of the crapification of public life in the UK: a bigoted failure blithely oozing from one disaster to the next while being rewarded at every turn by the far right media/political ecosystem. A golf club boor with the intellect of a burst balloon.
Oh ‘man flu’ is it @mrjamesob.bsky.social
Men eh! What are they like? Whiners!
I do find your misandry such a bizarre blind spot.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I think when the truth about Trump comes out and the venality and obscenity of those who allowed it is seen, the USA will suffer a social shock, a reckoning, the like of which it has never experienced.
And those who defend Trump now…
You will never remove the stain.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social
Trump?
Humans deplore chaos. It’s bad for us. Unpredictability makes living very difficult. We put great effort into normalising our lives.
Acknowledging that someone in power is not just bad but chaotic is anathema to us. It’s why we pretend there’s method in his madness.
I did say ‘when…’
